My hotel in Korea

So far, all I've seen of the country is the airport, the view from the bus, and the hotel I just woke up in. The airport is like any airport. The view from the bus window (during the times I remained conscious) alternated between landscape that could have been anywhere (it was night) and cityscapes that look like they come straight out of Blade Runner. The hotel is different from any I've been in, since it assumes that you have brought literally nothing with you (there is no space for baggage, they include all toiletries including a toothbrush, toothpaste, a condom vending machinge, etc), whereas most hotels assume that you packed enough for an expedition to the South Pole. Also, there is an entryway so that you can take off your shoes before entering a domestic area. This is going to be an adventure...

Update: The reason this hotel is so strange is that it is a 'love hotel', hence the condoms and porn and the assumption that you won't have any luggage. It's not for travelers, it's for couples in town.
